Zebrahead @ Boogaloo

Zebrahead is an American rock band from La Habra, California, formed in 1996. Their signature sound fuses pop-punk, punk rock, and rap/hip-hop influences — a bold mix that distinguished them in the late ’90s and early 2000s. The original lineup blended traditional punk instrumentation with a rapper-vocalist, setting the stage for a high-energy hybrid of melody, aggression, and groove. They debuted in 1998, and soon after released their breakthrough album “Waste of Mind.” Over the years they issued several albums — including “Playmate of the Year” (2000), the fan-favorite “MFZB” (2003), and, after some lineup changes, records like “Phoenix,” “Get Nice!”, “Call Your Friends,” and “Brain Invaders.” The band is celebrated for their powerful live shows, fast-paced rhythms, alternating between clean and rap vocals, and lyrics that often channel irreverence, fun, and punk attitude. Members have changed over time — but Zebrahead’s core energy and ability to merge genres has endured. They’ve built an international following, and remain known for their stage presence, danceable punk riffs, and a knack for turning concerts into shared experiences. Even today, they’re active and creating, showing that when pop-punk and rap-rock come with conviction and fire — it can last.
